Dear Friend,

I am Barrister Alexandria David (Esq) a solicitor of #3 Allen Avenue
Ikeja Lagos Nigeria, Telephone number +234 803 3430391. I was the Personal
Attorney to late Henry Williams an oil merchant/contractor with
CHEVRON PETROLEUM COMPANY here in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 1999,
my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a
automobile accident and unfortunately they lost their lives.

Before my Client died, he had a huge fund deposit valued at
US$9,000,000,00 Dollars in a Citi Trust Bank Ltd. here in Nigeria. As
his personal Attorney, I am in possesion of all legal documents which
shows the entire transaction between him and this Bank in relation to
this fund deposit. Consequently, the Bank mandated me to look out for
any of his extended family relatives to stand in as the next of
kin/beneficiary of this fund deposit.

Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate any
of my clients extended family relatives, but to no avail. After many
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his relatives over the
Internet, but this attempt was equally unsuccessful. Unfortunately,
today friday 30th April, 2004, the Citi Trust Bank Ltd. gave me an ultimatum of Ten
working days to provide the next of Kin or have this fund confiscated.
This is why I have contacted you to render assistance in repartrating
the money and properties left behind by my client, before they will be
confiscated or declared unserviceable by this bank.

Since I have been unsuccesful in locating the relatives for over two
years, and coincidentally you are from the same country, I seek your
consent to present you as the next of kin/beneficiary of late Henry
Williams fund deposit with this Bank for our mutual benefit. For your
assistance, you will be adequately compensated with 40% of the total
sum. 55% will be for me, and 5% will be set aside to offset all
incidential expences that might be incured in the cause of this
transaction. e.g phone call, payment of tax if so required by your
government etc. This transaction is 100% risk free as I have all
necessary legal documents to back up all our claims. I guarantee you
that the entire transaction will be executed under a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law,as all
documents/affidavit that will be required by Citi Trust Bank Ltd.
before the release of the fund will be procurred legally from the
federal high court of justice.

All I require from you is honesty and cooperation. Please realise that
the confidentiality of this arrangement must be maintained from now,
and even after the successful complition of this transaction,to enable
us see this deal through. If you will assist me, Please call me on my
personal phone 234-803-3430391 or contact me via my private office box
alex_solicitors@alexandria.cc for details.

Thanks and God bless.

Best regards,

Alexandria David Esq.
